We all have a past, but this is the present, and baby, you’re my future.
By Hannah
I came up with this after watching a tv show and talking to my mom. I didn’t even realized I’d said something clever, till she said, “Wait, what did you just say?”. Tell me what you think of my new “Quote”!
Dreams are odd, since they can be scary and they can be cuddly. I have always had weird dreams, ever since I was little. I am rarely scared by a dream now a days, because a part of me knows I am dreaming. When I was little my dreams were so real. I remember rolling over on my bed to get away from tiny evil people and being abducted by Dracula and brought into my Parent’s closet because that was his secret lair. They were weird and realistic. Sometimes I will go weeks without having a dream, but then I get a good one, one that I want to stay in, then I wake up. The scary ones are the ones that last the longest. Dreams are odd, like going into my own world and coming up with my own story that I don’t write.
Picture by me
I think dreams are something we will never fully understand. I mean, when we have them we’re sleeping. It’s our imagination at its best. How can our mind come up with this stuff? How can we see people we’ve never met? How is it possible that what happens in our dreams, sometimes happen in real life? Do our bodies look into the future and predict it wrong most of the time? Who knows? Who will ever know? Dreams are odd creations that are tricky to figure out. Is a dream me in another dimension? I guess I will have to wait to figure that one out.

P.S.
The answer to the riddle is…
He was shocked, it was an Apple product, like an iPhone and he spilled the water on it!!
Here is a riddle see if you can figure it out-
There is a dead man in a room. The only other things in the room are an Apple and a spilled class of water. How did he die?
Comment your answers and I’ll reply to tell you if you are right or wrong. If no one gets it, I will post the answer in a day or so.
Here is a two part joke-
Part one:
Why did the chicken cross the road?
To get to the other side.
Part two:
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Because it’s part of the joke.
Comment any joke you have, and If I like it, I’ll post it on the same post I answer the riddle with!
I would like to send out a “sorry” to all my faithful followers for not posting in soo long. I have just been so busy, since school started. I have home work, soccer and sleep I have to take care of first. Now on to the good stuff. I was in my cousins wedding!! I was a Jr. bridesmaid. Other then the fact that I had to get up at 6 am to get my hair done I had a great time. She was a beautiful bride. In honer of her wedding (that was two weeks ago), I am reposting an old wedding slideshow. Enjoy

I will be posting some more book reviews and some short stories soon!
I realized today I haven’t posted in just over 2 weeks! But I had good reason. Mostly I’ve just been too busy, and every free chance I get I’ve been reading! I also visited Disney World and my grandparents, with my cousins. This was not my first visit to Disney and won’t be my last! But I will say, it was my first trip to the Magic Kingdom that I really enjoyed roller coasters. I was there with family, our ages varying from 5-56. And that is what is so great about Disney, there is truly something for everyone. And many things for everybody to do together…
P.S.
I’m almost finished reading the Harry Potter series:D
Do you ever feel like you’re going out of you mind? Feel like you’re stuck in your head? Well that’s exactly how Melody feels in Out of My Mind by Sharon M. Draper. Melody is a smart 11-year old girl who was born with a disease that disables her to walk and talk. But that does not stop her mind from working. Melody is so loved by her family and Mrs. V but not so much by the rest of the world. Out of My Mind, pulls you in and you can’t help but love and feel bad for Melody. The struggles she goes through on a daily base is heartbreaking. Find out what is in Melody’s head in Out of My Mind, by Sharon M. Draper.
Out of My Mind by Sharon M. Draper, was an amazing read. I read it in 3 days and could hardly put it down. Out of My Mind could interest people of all ages! This is a book I think everyone should read. You can easily relate to Melody. She is a sweet kid that just wants to be normal. Sharon M. Draper writes in the mind set of someone like Melody so well. She really is an amazing writer. I will definitely be reading more of her books. If you are looking for a great read, I would suggest Out of My Mind by Sharon M. Draper. I would give this book a 9 out of 10.
This week I’ve been helping out at a camp for 3 and 4-year olds. I’m an assistant and only come from 12pm-4pm. Wednesday afternoon we decided to take a walk down to the creek. The creek holds many memories of mine, some good, and some not so good. Playing in the water with my friends, good. At Fairy camp 7 years ago having a friend step on a bees’ nest and having a whole swarm of bees attack us who were then, 3, 4 and 5-year olds, not so good. But hey, that was a one time deal right? That wouldn’t happen to me AND Nicole (a teacher at this camp that happened to be working at the fairy camp 7 years ago ) twice, right? Well, when we went down to the creek this week, we decided to go off the trail, which is what got us in to trouble last time. When we went off the trail I got this funny feeling in the pit of my stomach but over looked it. It was a one time deal I kept telling myself. Then, all of a sudden, one kid started yelling and I felt that familiar sting on my leg. It happened again! Mining bees were after us this time. Instinctively, I began to run but quickly remembered I’m not a camper this time, I’m a helper here. So I took the two boys that were closest to me and we ran until we were on safer grounds. Being on the other side of the creek, I didn’t want to cross it to get back up to the school. Frazzled and shaking. I stopped and asked both kids about 20 times if they were okay and if they were allergic. Corbin was fine. He didn’t get stung, but Peter was crying. He got stung on his hand but was not allergic. Minutes later Evan the other teacher, came up the creek carrying two crying kids, asked me if we were okay and told me it was okay to bring them back up to the building. After helping Peter over a log or two he walked up the hill with Corbin and me. I knew I had gotten stung, but didn’t realize how many times until we got back to the building. I got stung the most, a whopping 8 times! After applying a baking soda and water solution to our stings, the kids soon recovered and went on playing. They came into camp the next day telling all their half-day friends about their adventure at the creek with the bees. Still itching and slightly swollen, I took the time to put together a bee slide show…
Man, what a coincidence that it happened to both me and Nicole, twice, in the same woods, when we were together – again! Thankfully, Nicole made it out without being stung, this time but she got her fair share the first time. This was an experience I won’t forget any time soon, and neither will Nicole. I don’t think we will be going off the trail again any time soon either! But I have to say, Peter and Corbin were real troopers and followed all my instructions which made my job A LOT easier!
It’s the beginning of summer and I have three books that I’m required to read for school. The Outsiders, and two books from their reading list. I chose I Hadn’t Meant to Tell You This and Out of My Mind. I desperately wanted to read The Hunger Games series but I figured I had no chance to read them. Why? Because Last year I read one out of three books I had to read for school. Putting the thought of The Hunger Games aside, I made the goal to finish my three books. A totally of about 550 pages. When I began The Outsiders and realized I enjoyed it. It had shown a new light on reading for me and I finished it in a week. Mind blown, I began my next book and boom, three days later it was done. Then the third (only being 150 pages long) I finished in like 6 hours! By July first I had finished all my summer reading! The next day the perfect opportunity arrived. I was going up to Walton for 6 days! This was perfect. I could read the first Hunger Games then when we came back I could read the next. Right? There was no way I could finish the first one in less than 6 days right? How wrong was I! In 24-hours, I was done. I was amazed and mad. Stuck out there for another 5 days with the next book…
Now I have finished all my summer reading, The Hunger Games series and the first three Harry Potter books! These are all great reads! Wish me luck in my future reads! Any recommendations? Let me know!
My one true love
My first love
You know the love that you just never forget
You can’t
You don’t want to
The way it makes you feel
Just thinking about it makes you feel all fuzzy inside
Your love inspires you
It helps to make you who you are
It can hurt you in the worst of ways
and bring you out of the darkest days
My one true love.
A love that will stay with me forever
at least the memories will never fade
It might not be there forever
But it’s glory will never leave my heart
I long to see the beauty again, every time I have to leave it
And savor every moment I spend there
I have known it my whole life
And have grown to love it
It has become a part of me in many ways
It will be in my heart forever
That little town in the middle of nowhere
the town with the dreamy ice cream shop, they call The Penguin
The memories of walking up to the small red stand
that became a small window shop
which is now a big beautiful, dreamy-er than before, ice-cream shop
My order hasn’t changed
since I started going to The Penguin
cappuccino ice cream.
Then there are the memories of walking through the woods
I start my journey not knowing quite where I’ll end up
I can feel a cool breeze going down my back
Then a prick on my leg, just another thorn
I’ve gotten used to them after 12 years
It doesn’t faze me a bit
I know the trail to the stream like I know what I’m going to order at The Penguin
The woods now surround me with memories
I get to the top of the hill
The small boys pond
from when the girls claimed the waterfall just up ahead
The sound of the water flowing down the stream warms my heart just like a cappuccino ice-cream from The Penguin cools it on a hot summers day
I make my way up the stream to the flowing waterfall
When the flood came it slowed the beauty
But I can still see it
At the top I can see the little fish thingys that swim around slowly
But once they see you they swim as fast as me running into the penguin when we arrive into town
We climb the last little bit and we’re at the top
Back to the 2nd field
the thorns start sticking to me like flies to honey
I continue to the 2nd pond
Slowly walking, I remember good times
like when my old teacher came up
we heard a mountain lion
then sprinted down the hill
with worries that it might come out and attack
now I reach the pond
prettier than last time
we can’t go swimming in this one
there might be some killer swimmer in there
I take out my net
ready to catch a little, green, slimy, smelly…
frog
and put it on my face
just like I always do
the frogs are easier to catch at the main pond
but they don’t stay on my face as long
so I must make the journey to the 2nd pound on every visit.
Time to make my way back down the hill
not able to venture to things like the roller-coaster this time
because the sun is slowly dimming
that is for tomorrow when we take an ATV ride
Sadly I make my way back to the house
Passing the stream
and leaving the field
I see the main pond and our warm cabin
Slowly I take off my shoes and fall on the couch
barely able to move after my adventures
Then my mom yells out, “Hannah do you want to go to The Penguin?”
I jump up and my answer never changes: “Is that even a question?”
In this poem I am talking about Walton. I have a country house there. It is my place of peace and serenity.
Thanks for stopping by!
